SSANU/NASU Strike Suspension: Union Wants Full Implementation Of Agreement
The Non-Teaching Staff Unions of Universities comprising of the Senior Staff Academic Union of Universities (SSANU) and Non-Academic Staff of Universities (NASU) have suspended its three-week old industrial strike action with a call on the federal government to ensure full implementation of the reached agreement to avoid resumption.
The unions said that the suspension was raised with timeline with a continued monitoring to ensure that the federal government implement its own side of the agreement.
Speaking at a media briefing shortly after the conciliatory meeting with the federal government, NASU General Secretary, Peters Adeyemi, said the suspension was considered after concessions from the government maintaining that its demands have been harmonised to the satisfaction of both parties.
Adeyemi said, “we have held a meeting with the government side and those areas that needed to be harmonised have been harmonised to the satisfaction of both parties and resulting from the process, we have agreed that the on-going national strike in the universities and inter-universities centres be suspended with effect from 2 midnight tomorrow which is Friday 26, February.”
“We are mindful of the fact that we will continue to monitor the agreements that have been reached which have timeline and we hope that the federal government will implement its own side of the bargain.
If it doesn’t, we have no reason but to call our members to resume the suspended strike,” he stated.
Adeyemi further commended members of the union for their commitment in the struggle, adding that the union would continue to keep the interest of member’s afloat.
